4.0 out of 5 stars Great Music to a Hilarious Game, August 14, 2005

By	Jack Wright "JWfW" (Woodland, CA - USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this album for two reasons that I can think of right now. The first being that I loved what Robin Beanland (Donkey Kong Country, Killer Instinct, Jet Force Gemini) did with the music from the original version on the Nintendo64 and the soundtrack was only a very limited release through a Blockbuster promotion (or at least that's what I've been told). The second reason was that I assumed that since the game was being revamped, that the quality of the music would be too. Well, the music is more-or-less exactly the same as the N64 version, but it does sound better: cleaner and crisper instrumentation abounds. An added pleasure are the inclusion of guest musicians on a couple tracks.

Another really cool thing was the inclusion of a DVD along with the CD; suprised because I didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the description given by Amazon. The DVD includes a 4 minute, slightly campy mockumentry about where Conker has been between the release of "Bad Fur Day" and "LIVE & Reloaded." Like I said, campy, but still fun. There are also 5 songs not included on the soundtrack CD. 2 of the songs are the original versions that are given remixes for the xbox version and are great to hear again outside of the game. The other 3 I'll get into below.

There are however some downsides to this album.
-The "Sloprano" song (the one with the Great Mighty Poo) has been edited/censored. Whenever the GMP sings a 'naughty' word, the word is beeped out with the sound of a fart. This was the most disapointing thing on the entire album and my main reason for giving it only 4 stars instead of 5. It's not even mentioned anywhere that the song has been edited.
-The bullfight song "Ole", the barn music, "Barn" and ending song, "Conker the King (reprise)" are only included as a special song/feature on the DVD included with the CD. They're the new versions of the songs, but weren't included on the CD itself.

So to review: Overall the album is great if you've played "Bad Fur Day" and even if you never plan on playing the xbox game. "Sloprano" has been censored for no reason I could see since the game is rated "M" anyway. However, Robin Beanland has down a masterful job with this soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the original N64 soundtrack., September 14, 2005

By	Tansunn - See all my reviews

I played the original Conker's Bad Fur Day on N64 and loved it, especially the music. When I discovered that the Xbox version had an official soundtrack, I purchased it immediately. Almost all of the best songs are included, from the rocking Surf Punks, to the somewhat medieval Bats, to the operatic (yet censored) Sloprano. Most of the music sounds as if it has been redone by live performers, and sounds amazing. It also contains some new tracks that I assume were made for the new online games. My only major complaint on the album is the Rock Solid remix, which just doesn't have the same punch as the original. Fortunately, the original is included on the bonus DVD, along with some other tracks, an image gallery, a trailer for the game, and a ridiculous mockumentary. Highly recommended for fans of either game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game Great soundtrack, May 28, 2007

By	N. Garcia "Sciurus" (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This 2 disc set is worth over $20 in my opinion with some original tracks from the Nintedo 64 version and the promo videos this is definatley worth the money. I'm a big Conker fan and if your looking for a collectible that will be VERY hard to find later this is definatley one to pickup now.
